GSD-2020-8184

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2020-06-15 00:00
Details
It is possible to forge a secure or host-only cookie prefix in Rack using an arbitrary cookie write by using URL encoding (percent-encoding) on the name of the cookie. This could result in an application that is dependent on this prefix to determine if a cookie is safe to process being manipulated into processing an insecure or cross-origin request. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2020-8184. Versions Affected: rack < 2.2.3, rack < 2.1.4 Not affected: Applications which do not rely on __Host- and __Secure- prefixes to determine if a cookie is safe to process Fixed Versions: rack >= 2.2.3, rack >= 2.1.4 Impact ------ An attacker may be able to trick a vulnerable application into processing an insecure (non-SSL) or cross-origin request if they can gain the ability to write arbitrary cookies that are sent to the application. Workarounds ----------- If your application is impacted but you cannot upgrade to the released versions or apply the provided patch, this issue can be temporarily addressed by adding the following workaround: ``` module Rack module Utils module_function def parse_cookies_header(header) return {} unless header header.split(/[;] */n).each_with_object({}) do |cookie, cookies| next if cookie.empty? key, value = cookie.split('=', 2) cookies[key] = (unescape(value) rescue value) unless cookies.key?(key) end end end end ```

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
